Top 10: Russia captures three vessels off Crimea

1. Russia fires at Ukrainian ships and captures three vessels off Crimea

The Ukrainian president calls for emergency session of his war cabinet after accusing Russia of capturing three of its ships.

Ukraine says Russia has opened fire on its ships in the Black Sea and captured three vessels.

Two sailors have been wounded after two small armoured artillery boats were hit in the strikes, the Ukrainian navy said.

A statement from Ukraine's ambassador to the UK said Russian special forces had captured three ships in an “act of aggression.”

Calling the policies, “moral grandstanding”, AfD co-leader, Alexander Gauland explains this is the way moral grandstanding works; “there are those who do the preaching and those who do the paying.”

3. French politician explains, the Islamization of Europe is not a fantasy, it is a project of religious conquest

Jean-Frédéric Poisson, President of the Christian-Democrat Party and member of the National Assembly of France, discusses his book, “Islam conquers the West: The strategy unveiled.” The ISESCO document referred to which aims to establish an Islamic society in the West, can be found HERE.

The Divisional Court has just refused to overturn the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision ordering him to pay an astounding $12,000 for violating the religious rights of his Muslim tenants.

Despite his denials, the tribunal found he harassed the couple by not removing his shoes and failing to accommodate their prayer times when trying to arrange showings for prospective tenants.

Now he’s not only on the hook for the original $12,000 award but because he lost at Divisional Court, the Nigerian-born small landlord must pay their side’s $5,000 in legal costs as well.

5. Fraudsters who ran fake visa scam and stole £13m from HMRC sentenced to 31 years in jail

Five fraudsters who ran a fake Bangladeshi visa scam and falsely claimed £13 million in tax repayments have been sentenced to total of 31 years in jail.

London law student Abul Kalam Muhammad Rezaul Karim, 42, was the ringleader in the organised crime group, which set up 79 bogus companies and created fake documentation used by Bangladeshi nationals in fraudulent visa applications.

They also used the companies to fraudulently reclaim £13 million in tax repayments from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over a six-year period, the equivalent of 494 new nurses in London for a year.

Images and videos posted on social media Sunday afternoon showed hundreds of migrants from the leading Central American caravan pushing past Mexican riot police and rushing the border at the port of entry in San Ysidro, Calif., in a major test for both U.S. border authorities and Mexican officials.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it suspended northbound and southbound crossings for both pedestrians and vehicles at the San Ysidro port of entry at approximately 11:30 a.m. local time. It later tweeted that the pedestrian crossings had re-opened, a little more than four hours after the initial closure.

CBP added that some demonstrators “attempted to illegally enter the U.S. through both the northbound and southbound vehicle lanes at the port of entry itself. Those persons were stopped and turned back to Mexico.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that some migrants "attempted to breach legacy fence infrastructure along the border and sought to harm CBP personnel by throwing projectiles at them.”

Mayor of #Tijuana: “I will not allow our bilateral relationship to be fractured by the bad actions of the migrant caravan. They’re doing things outside of the law. We are affected at the border crossing. Many Tijuanans work, study, and visit the United States in healthy peace.” https://t.co/fv0jJhByd4

7. French police clash violently with protesters on Champs Elysees over petrol costs

PARIS (Reuters) – Police firing tear gas and water cannons clashed in Paris on Saturday with thousands of protesters angry over rising car fuel costs and President Emmanuel Macron’s economic policies, the second weekend of “yellow vest” protests across France.

As night fell, the famed Champs-Elysees avenue, where fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld switched on the red lights of Christmas just a few days ago, was still aglow with fires lit by protesters.

President Emmanuel Macron thanked police forces for their” courage and professionalism” in dealing with demonstrators as calm progressively returned to the Champs Elysees.

“Shame on those who attacked them … There is no room for this violence in the Republic,” Macron said on Twitter.

France: Chaos in Paris as anti-fuel tax protest turns violent

French police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse anti-fuel tax protesters who were rallying against rising fuel prices and a planned fuel tax in Paris on Saturday.

A vehicle and a tent of a nearby café were set on fire, while people barricaded behind pieces of furniture as they tried to hide from water cannons and march further.

Some were seen shaking a traffic light in a bid to break it, while others were turning what seemed to be a vehicle over to use as a barricade against police.

The "yellow vest" movement has grown in the past weeks, as the government plans a tax increase on fuel, including gasoline and diesel, beginning on January 1, 2019 to promote environmentally friendly practices.

8. Nigeria's military acknowledges major attack by extremists

Nigeria's military on Saturday acknowledged a major attack against it by Islamic extremists after opposition lawmakers said 44 soldiers were killed, while public pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari grew over the failure of his pledge to defeat Boko Haram.

The military statement issued overnight didn't say how many are dead after the Nov. 18 attack in Metele in the northeast, but it dismissed media reports citing even higher tolls and called the situation under control. Nigeria is often reluctant to expose the number of casualties after such attacks.

Hungary’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó has condemned the UN Migration Pact for attempting to “legalise illegal immigration,” announcing his country will vote “no” on the agreement in Marrakesh in December.

Mr Szijjártó told media on Thursday that “The goal of the UN Global Compact for Migration is to legalise illegal immigration, which is totally unacceptable and violates the sovereignty of member states, including that of Hungary.”

“The UN is making the same mistake as the European Union, which wants to base its own migration policy on mandatory resettlement quotas,” he continued.

“The UN Compact is more dangerous, however, because it is a global initiative, meaning it will have a greater effect than [European] policy, and represents a risk to the whole world.”

10. Migrants defy Trump at Mexico border as US forces flex muscle

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - Hundreds of Central American migrants staged a boisterous demonstration on the US Mexico border Thursday, screaming for President Donald Trump to let them in as US soldiers and riot police put on a menacing show of force.

The increased tension over the presence of a thousands-strong migrant caravan came as Trump marked Thanksgiving Day by threatening to close the border if he thinks Mexico has lost control of it.

Vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the busy San Ysidro crossing came to a halt for 40 minutes as dozens of US police wearing helmets and holding rifles formed a line facing the Mexican side of the frontier. Separately, riot police rehearsed deployment movements. US Customs and Border Protection called all of this a “large-scale readiness exercise.”

American soldiers in khaki-colored uniforms set off rockets that exploded with a pungent-smelling white smoke. Helicopters hovered overhead.

1: Lots of European outrage, little European action. Their biggest worry is that Russia will stop supplying oil and gas to Europe.

2: Someone with a brain, facts, and who puts Germany first; not the interests of people who simply show up and demand resources from Germany which Germany can’t even give its own people anymore.

3: There it is in black and white for anyone to read and understand. Unfortunately, virtue signalling politicians who believe they know better than what the people actually want just ignore the truth.

4: Virtue signalling appointed fools. He told them when he would be coming, worked around their schedule, demanded all sorts of compliance to their wishes, and then went crying to the HRC. When it comes to Muslim discrimination, well, that is OK because that is cultural. Our politically activist justice system at work.

6, 10: Just wait for our dumber than a rock PM Justin Baby Doc Trudeau invites these people to Canada, even boating or flying them up at our expense.

For people running for asylum, why are they proudly carrying the flags of the countries they are escaping? Why not fight for a better life at home instead of demanding that other countries take them in, give them financial support or jobs, and then don’t bother to integrate.

7: Meanwhile, nary a peep out of Canadians when we keep getting hit with fuel and energy increases, the ridiculous carbon tax, and ever increasing government fees on automobiles. The riots are about a CDN 20¢ a litre increase on top of an already CDN 30¢ increase. When we see increases like this, we mumble, shrug our shoulders, and do nothing.

9: Before the text was even completed, our idiot in chief, Princess Trudeau, was signing on to the “non-binding” agreement. If its “non-binding” it should mean that it is meaningless, but no, he is jumping on board and will be enforcing this Plan 21 mumbo-jumbo. Anything that falls under virtue signalling, bowing to Islam, and whatever it will take to get him a seat at the UN security council he is on board.

Make Trudeau a fill-in (meaning when the real teacher can’t make it to work) drama queen/teacher again.
